The BJP has moved its Delhi Assembly election campaign from the booth level to an individual level with an aim to target every voter in the national capital. As the election date draws near, the party's mega campaign is in full swing and is already conducting a massive wider outreach programme.
The BJP has fielded an army of leaders from states across the country comprising of 11 Chief Ministers, 59 Central Ministers and 200 members of Parliament for active campaigning.
"Known for managing the election at booth level, the BJP has now changed the strategy in Delhi. Now, we aim to reach each voter which will pave the way in increasing our party's voter base," a senior official in BJP told ANI.
"Apart from ministers and three MPs for one assembly constituency, the party now plans to depute around 15 MLAs and state ministers have also been added to the team per the requirement," he added.

"These meetings start at around 4 pm in the evening at Dharmendra Pradhan's residence and end at around 9 to 10 pm," said the source.
The BJP has so far held around 3000 public meetings. Besides this, several small sampark (contact) programmes have been held, reaching every nook and corner of the city. The total number of BJP personnel active in this election is around 1.10 lakh and the total number of voters in Delhi Legislative Assembly is 1,47,03,692.
